Hi everyone. I'm
making a short video here about a
Facebook app that I want you guys to install
so that you can have
access to our virtual office hours
because this is
going to be done through this particular app.
So the name of the app
is Clobby and I am going to show you how to do this right now.
This is your Facebook page.
The only thing you need to do is search for
Clobby
and click on that
and that should bring up this Clobby Group Chat app,
and what you need to do is just (click on) "Go to App"
but you might want to change the option here if you want everybody to see this
in your
Facebook timeline or not, I don't really.
It's up to you what you want to do but I
am not involved in Facebook a whole lot
so I don't really need anybody else to see it but
you can
click "Go to App"
and
what it will do then is to show you the...
you will be allowed to sign in to the app,
which is right here
and once you sign basically that app is now part of your Facebook page so
you'll be able to see it
when you
open Facebook.
Okay, so it should show on the left side
and we'll just wait a little bit for this to sign in.
And basically once you're there the next thing you need to do is just
join a room, a chat room, and I'm going to provide a link to the actual
chat room that will be created for
our class so you'll be able to just join that chat room and once you
join you should be able to type in your questions okay?
So once you've signed in what you should see it's basically a chatroom
this is just a generic chat room (called the Lobby) that
has been
created
automatically for a new user. This is not the chat room that I want you
to go into. There's going to be a special chat room that you should go into
and I'm going to give you the address right now and I'll also post it in the Facebook
group page so you can see it.
If you look at the URL
for this chatroom, this general chat room, you see that it says apps.facebook.com
/clobby_chat
and then you have these number,
series of numbers. That's the serial ID for this
particular chat room.
The chat room that I've created for our class, it has a different serial ID
number
and I'm going to copy and paste that right here.
The number that you're going to need is this number right here, 2244
and so on. What i'm going to do is just copy and paste this number
and actually the entire address
on the Facebook wall
for our
class so that you can
see it and then anytime you need to join you basically just need to enter this URL
once you're signed in to Facebook and you should be able to
access that particular chat room, okay. So if you see if I type
this on,
click on it or press enter
then you see it takes me to another address now, another chat room,
and that chat room should be the chatroom that's created for the class
and so that's what you see now you see that my name shows up here. Now
you know ideally in a in a regular setting there will be a lot of names here,
names of all of you guys
who are joining that chat room
during office hours and then
in order to do your
office hour questions,
I'll scroll down a bit here to show you what the actual chat
interface looks like, you can just type the question here and then press enter
and that it would show up right here as you can see.
So
right now we'll use this (app) until I find a better way of doing office hours.
Currently Facebook Group is
apparently not functioning that well so I would just use this
until we find a better way to
solve the problem.
So if you have any questions about how to install this particular app in your Facebook,
then you can ask me but generally it's the steps that I just showed you.
So just to highlight again that
once you install or went through that whole steps of,
clicking and joining the Clobby Group Chat initially from the first step I was showing
you
everytime you log in to your Facebook page now, there should be a link here
under Apps, that says Clobby Group Chat,
and that you know, if you click on that thing,
it should take you to the
chatroom that
that you've added earlier, which is the Nauli Chemistry
chatroom, that's our office hour chatroom.
So there should be no issue after you install it the first time but
if you have any problem, you should just contact me.
